Underage Drinking “Can’t be Stopped”

Ending underage drinking is unattainable, a Scots health minister
has acknowledged. Deputy Health Minister Tom McCabe of Scotland
asserted that a more realistic goal is to help young persons drink
safely.

The announcement was made as the Scottish Executive unveiled a
guide to help parents discuss drinking with their children.

The health leader said “ideally we’d like an end to
under-age drinking in Scotland but a more realistic goal is to help
youngsters understand the risks and keep safe when they drink.”
